Challenge question: this question is worth 6 points. as you saw in problem 9 we can have species bound to a central metal ion. these species are called ligands. in the past we have assumed all the d orbitals in some species are degenerate; however, they often are not. sometimes the ligands bound to a central metal cation can split the d orbitals. that is, some of the d orbitals will be at a lower energy state than others. ligands that have the ability to cause this splitting are called strong field ligands, cn- is an example of these. if this splitting in the d orbitals is great enough electrons will fill low lying orbitals, pairing with other electrons in a given orbital, before filling higher energy orbitals. in question 7 we had fe2+, furthermore we found that there were a certain number (non-zero) of unpaired electrons. consider now fe(cn)64-: here we also have fe2+, but in this case all the electrons are paired, yielding a diamagnetic species. how can you explain this?
a. there are 3 low lying d orbitals, which will be filled with 6 electrons before filling the 2, assumed to be degenerate, higher energy orbitals.
b. there are 4 low lying d orbitals, which will be filled with 8 electrons before filling the 1 higher energy orbital.
c. there is 1 low lying d orbital, which will be filled with two electrons before filling the 4, assumed to be degenerate, higher energy orbitals.
d. all the d orbitals are degenerate.
e. there are 2 low lying d orbitals, which will be filled with 4 electrons before filling the 3, assumed to be degenerate, higher energy orbitals.
